Your iMac is designed so that you can easily set it up and start using it right away.
If you’ve never used an iMac or are new to Mac computers, read this chapter for
instructions about getting started.
Important: Read all the setup instructions in this chapter and the safety information
starting on page 66 before you plug your iMac into a power outlet.
If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure
you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your iMac” on page 19 to find out
about the new features of your iMac.
Answers to many questions can be found on your iMac in Help Center. For information
about Help Center, see “Getting Answers” on page 34.
Remove any protective film from the outside of your iMac before you set it up.

What’s in the Box
Your iMac comes with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, a wireless Apple Magic Mouse, and
an AC power cord. If you ordered an Apple Remote, it’s also in the box.
Apple Wireless Keyboard Apple Magic Mouse
AC power cord
Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go 9

Setting Up Your iMac
Follow these steps to set up your iMac. Wait until Step 4 to turn on your iMac.
Step 1: Pass the power cord through the hole in the stand, plug it into the power
port on the back of your iMac, and then plug the cord into a power outlet.

Step 2: To access the Internet or a network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable
to the Ethernet port on your iMac. Connect the other end to a cable modem, a DSL
modem, or a network.
Your iMac comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi technology for wireless networking. For information
about setting up a wireless connection, choose Help from the menu bar and search
for “wi-fi.”
To use a dial-up connection, you need an external USB modem. Plug the modem into
a USB port on your iMac, and then use a phone cord to connect the modem to a
phone jack.

Step 3: Turn on your wireless keyboard and mouse.
Press the power button on the right side of your Apple Wireless Keyboard and slide the
switch on the bottom of your Apple Magic Mouse to turn them on.
Your wireless keyboard and mouse come with AA batteries installed, and they’re
already paired with your iMac. Pairing allows them to communicate wirelessly with
your iMac.
Power button Indicator light
Indicator light On/off switch
When you first turn on your keyboard or mouse, the indicator light glows steadily for
5 seconds, indicating the batteries are good. If your keyboard or mouse doesn’t turn on,
make sure batteries are installed properly (see “Replacing the Batteries” on page 56).
The indicator light blinks until you turn on your iMac and a connection is established.
Note: If you purchased a USB keyboard or a USB mouse, connect the cable to a
USB port (d) on the back of your iMac.

Step 4: Press the power button (®) on the back to turn on your iMac.
You hear a tone when you turn on your iMac. Click your mouse to establish a
connection with your iMac.
Important: If your keyboard and mouse aren’t paired with your iMac, follow the
onscreen instructions to pair them. You may have to click the mouse once to establish
a connection. For more information about pairing, see “Pairing Your Apple Wireless
Keyboard with Your iMac” on page 29.

Step 5: Configure your iMac.
The first time you turn on your iMac, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps
you specify your Wi-Fi network, set up a user account, and transfer information from
another Mac or PC. You can also transfer information from a Time Machine backup or
other disk.
If you’re migrating from another Mac, you might have to update software if the other
Mac doesn’t have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later installed. To migrate from a PC,
download Migration Assistant from www.apple.com/migrate-to-mac and install it on
the PC you want to migrate from.
After you start Setup Assistant on your iMac, you can leave it midprocess without
quitting, move to the other computer if you need to update its software, and then
return to your iMac to complete the setup.
Note: If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up
your iMac, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Open Migration Assistant in the
Utilities folder in Launchpad. For help using Migration Assistant, open Help Center and
search for “Migration Assistant.”
To set up your iMac:

1 In Setup Assistant, follow the onscreen instructions until you get to the “Transfer
Information to This Mac” screen.
2 Do a basic setup, a setup with migration, or transfer information from a Time Machine
backup or other disk:
ÂÂ To do a basic setup, select “Don’t transfer now” and click Continue. Follow the
remaining prompts to select your wired or wireless network, set up an account, and
exit Setup Assistant.

ÂÂ To do a setup with migration, select “From another Mac or PC” and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to select the Mac or PC you want to migrate from.
Your Mac or PC must be on the same wired or wireless network. Follow the onscreen
instructions for migrating.
ÂÂ To transfer information from a Time Machine backup or another disk, select “From a
Time Machine backup or other disk” and click Continue. Select the backup or the
other disk that you want to migrate from. Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you don’t intend to keep or use your other computer, it’s best to deauthorize it from
playing music, videos, or audiobooks that you’ve purchased from the iTunes Store.
Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks you’ve purchased
from being played by someone else, and frees up another authorization for use. For
information about deauthorizing, choose iTunes Help from the Help menu in iTunes.
Step 6: Customize your desktop and set your preferences.

You can quickly make the desktop look the way you want using System Preferences,
your command center for most settings on your iMac. Choose Apple () > System
Preferences from the menu bar, or click the System Preferences icon in the Dock.
Important: You can set an option to reset your password in Users & Groups
preferences, in case you forget your login password. For help with System Preferences,
open Help Center and search for “system preferences” or for the specific preference you
want help for.

Putting Your iMac to Sleep or Shutting It Down
When you finish working with your iMac, you can put it to sleep or shut it down.
Putting Your iMac to Sleep

If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your
iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the
startup process.
To put your iMac to sleep, do one of the following:

ÂÂ Choose Apple () > Sleep from the menu bar.
ÂÂ Press the power button (®) on the back of your iMac.
ÂÂ Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and set a sleep timer.
ÂÂ Hold down the Play/Pause button (’) on the optional Apple Remote for 3 seconds.
To wake your iMac from sleep, do one of the following:
ÂÂ Press any key on the keyboard.
ÂÂ Click the mouse.
ÂÂ Press the power button (®) on the back of your iMac.
ÂÂ Press any button on the optional Apple Remote.
When your iMac wakes from sleep, your applications, documents, and computer
settings are exactly as you left them.

Shutting Down Your iMac
If you won’t be using your iMac for more than a few days, shut it down. Choose
Apple () > Shut Down. To turn your iMac on again, press the power button (®).
NOTICE: Shut down your iMac before moving it. Moving your iMac while the hard
disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data or an inability to start
up from the hard disk.

WARNING: Apple recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician install

memory. See “AppleCare Service and Support” on page 63 for information about how
to contact Apple for service. If you attempt to install memory and damage your
equipment, that damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your iMac.
38 Chapter 3 Boost Your Memory

Installing Memory
Your iMac has four memory slots. Two are filled with at least a 2 GB memory module.
You can install additional memory in the free slots or replace the memory in the filled
slots with 2 GB or 4 GB memory modules, for up to 16 GB of memory.
You can purchase additional Apple memory from an Apple Authorized Reseller,
an Apple Retail Store, or the Apple Online Store at www.apple.com/store.
WARNING: Always shut down your iMac and remove the power cord before installing
memory. Do not attempt to install memory while your iMac is plugged in.
To install memory:
1 Turn off your iMac by choosing Apple () > Shut Down.
2 Disconnect all cables and the power cord from your iMac.
3 Place a soft, clean towel or cloth on your work surface. Hold the sides of your iMac and
lay it down so that the screen rests on the surface and the bottom faces you.

Occasionally you may have problems while working with your iMac. Read on for
troubleshooting tips to try when you have a problem. You can also find more
troubleshooting information in Help Center and on the iMac Support website at
www.apple.com/support/imac.
If you experience a problem working with your iMac, there’s usually a simple and quick
solution. If you encounter a problem, try to make a note of what you did before the
problem occurred. This can help you narrow down the possible causes of the problem
and then find the answers you need. Things to note:

only with a specific application may indicate that the application isn’t compatible
with the version of Mac OS X installed on your iMac.
ÂÂ Any software that you recently installed.
ÂÂ Any new hardware (such as additional memory or a peripheral) that you connected
or installed.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open your iMac, except to install memory. If your iMac
needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 62 for information

46 Chapter 4 Problem, Meet Solution

An Ounce of Prevention
If you have a problem with your computer or software, having kept up-to-date
Time Machine backups ensures that your data won’t be lost. If you make regular Time
Machine backups, you can restore your software and all your data to exactly the way it
was at the time of backup. Even serious issues are of less concern when you safeguard
your information with Time Machine.
Problems That Prevent You from Using Your iMac

If your iMac won’t respond or the pointer won’t move
ÂÂ Make sure your Apple Wireless Keyboard or Apple Magic Mouse are turned on and
the batteries are charged. (See “Replacing the Batteries” on page 56.)
If you’re using a USB keyboard or mouse, make sure they’re connected. Unplug and
then plug in the connectors and make sure they are secure.
ÂÂ Try to force problem applications to quit. Hold down the Option and Command (x)
keys and press the Esc key. If a dialog appears, select the application and click
Force Quit. Then save your work in any open applications and restart your iMac to
be sure the problem is entirely cleared up.
ÂÂ If you’re unable to force the application to quit, hold down the power button (®)
on the back of your iMac for five seconds to shut down the computer. Unplug
the power cord from your iMac. Then plug the power cord back in and press the
power button (®) on your iMac to turn it on.

3 Click Diagnostics to open Network Diagnostics.
4 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If Network Diagnostics can’t resolve the problem, there may be a problem with the
Internet service provider (ISP) you are trying to connect to, with an external device you
are using to connect to your ISP, or with the server you are trying to access. You can try
the steps in the following sections.
Cable Modem, DSL Modem, and LAN Internet Connections

Make sure all modem cables are firmly plugged in, including the modem power cord,
the cable from the modem to your iMac, and the cable from the modem to the wall
jack. Also check the cables and power supplies to any Ethernet hubs or routers.
Turn off your DSL or cable modem for a few minutes, and then turn it back on. Some
ISPs recommend that you unplug the modem’s power cord. If your modem has a reset
button, you can press it either before or after you turn the power off and on.
Important: Instructions that refer to modems do not apply to LAN users. LAN users
might have hubs, switches, routers, or connection pods that cable and DSL modem
users do not have. LAN users should contact their network administrator rather than
an ISP.

PPPoE Connections
If you are unable to connect to your ISP using PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet), make sure you entered the correct information in Network preferences.
To enter PPPoE settings:

2 Click Network.
3 Click Add (+) at the bottom of the network connection services list, and choose PPPoE
from the Interface pop-up menu.
4 Choose an interface for the PPPoE service from the Ethernet pop-up menu.
Choose Ethernet if you are connecting to a wired network, or Wi-Fi if you are
connecting to a wireless network.
5 Click Create.
6 Enter the information you received from your service provider, such as the account
name, password, and PPPoE service name (if your service provider requires it).
7 Click Apply to make the settings active.
Network Connections
Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into your iMac and into the network.
Check the cables and power supplies to your Ethernet hubs and routers.
If you have two or more computers sharing an Internet connection, be sure that your
network is set up properly. You need to know whether your ISP provides only one IP
address or multiple IP addresses, one for each computer.

If only one IP address is provided, then you must have a router capable of sharing the
connection, also known as network address translation (NAT) or “IP masquerading.”
For setup information, check the documentation provided with your router or ask
the person who set up your network.
An AirPort base station can be used to share one IP address among multiple
computers. For information about using an AirPort base station, see Help Center
(click Help in the menu bar and search for “airport”) or visit the AirPort website at
www.apple.com/support/airport.
If you can’t resolve the issue using these steps, contact your ISP or network administrator.
Problems with Wireless Communication

If you have trouble using wireless communication:
ÂÂ Make sure the computer or network you are trying to connect to is running and has a
wireless access point.
ÂÂ Make sure you’ve properly configured the software according to the instructions that
came with your base station or access point.
ÂÂ Make sure your iMac is within antenna range of the other computer or the network’s
access point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere with wireless
communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating your iMac might
improve reception.
ÂÂ Check the Wi-Fi status menu (Z) in the menu bar. Up to four bars appear, indicating
signal strength. If the signal strength is weak, try changing your location.
ÂÂ See Help Center (click Help in the menu bar and search for “wi-fi”). Also see the
instructions that came with the wireless device for more information.

Understanding Ergonomics
Here are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment.
Keyboard
When you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and
forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly
a straight line.
Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users might develop
discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you
begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a
qualified health specialist.
Mouse
Position the mouse at the same height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.

Display
Arrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re
sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you,
although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).
Position the display to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead
lights and nearby windows. The stand lets you set the display at the best angle for
viewing, helping to reduce or eliminate glare from lighting sources you can’t move.
Shoulders 18–28 in. (45–70 cm) Top of the screen at or

Chair
An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height
of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet are flat on the floor. The back of
the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.
You might have to raise your chair so that your forearms and hands are at the proper
angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, use
a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the floor and
your feet. Or you can lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest. Another
option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that’s lower than the regular work surface.
